On our return along the canal into Chichester, I took more pictures - including of a pair of swans building their 2022 nest.
...and a diving grebe.
It surfaced as it swum across the canal, for a better shot or two.
On our next outing, Liz and I trekked over Highdown Hill. A couple of people were staring at some pale greyish birds and on noting this we saw a pair of skylarks standing on the grassland!
The people did not seem to know if they were or were not skylarks - but Liz and I knew.
I took several shots so as to be sure to get at least one good one - I hoped.
However, one of my better shots was on our post coffee/gardens descent of the hill, when we spotted another skylark.
The skylark is an increasingly rare birds in the UK, and it is only karma/luck that has me living in such close proximity to a multitude of them.
Wow, that last picture of the skylark in the field with the house in the background is amazing.
